In
part I, I gave you the first half of the
overview of Agenda 21. This is part 2 of the overview. Keep in mind that
it is just an overview; I will expound upon the key aspects in later articles.

In
order to build a sustainable global community, the nations of the world
must renew their commitment to the United Nations, fulfill their obligations
under existing international agreements, and support the implementation
of Earth Charter principles with an international legally binding instrument
on environment and development. The Earth Charter

As Tom
DeWeese puts it, “The fact is, Agenda 21 is a blueprint to completely
change our society to a top-down planned central economy in a strange
mixture of Socialism, fascism and corporatism. This is a political movement
led by those who seek to control the world economy, dictate development
and redistribute the world’s wealth. They use the philosophical
base of Karl Marx, the tactics of Adolph Hitler, and the rhetoric of the
Sierra Club.”

The
next order of business for the globalist was to convince the general public
that the fate of the world was at stake, that we had to do something right
now and that “something” would require us to not only give
up our standard of living but would have us give up our basic freedoms.
But what could they come up with to achieve all this -- a big order even
for the Maurice Strong's, Al Gore's and George Soros' of the world.

In the
past we were hit with everything from a new ice age to global food shortages
and starvation. But those dire threats didn’t pan out; not enough
people were willing to swallow the Kool Aid yet. But all those New Age
forecasters were not ready to give up on scaring the bejesus out of us.
How else would they achieve their ends? Heidi and Alvin Toffler, John
Naisbitt, Amatei Etzioni, with the Club of Rome and the Rand Corporation
among others, have been looking for that exact universal scare to make
us beg them to take control of the world; to have people crying, “just
protect us.”

And
what did they come up with? A biggie. Environmental Armageddon. Stop everything
you are doing and the world might be able to correct itself; go on using
natural resources and we doom not only ourselves but the entire rest of
the world. What could be better? Put on your hair shirt, get rid of your
middle class home and become one with the earth, i.e., throw out God and
turn to Gaia worship and then maybe, just maybe, the globalists can steer
us into a safe harbor of post-carbon existence. (Note that we will be
living in a post-carbon world, but the globalists will still be using
carbon because they have to live comfortably so they can better rule over
us. Like other extremists i.e. communists and animal rightists, as soon
as they get the world in control {set up Utopias,free the animals} they
will then join us in the post-carbon nightmare. In their dreams.)

Do you
doubt what I am saying, then consider this quote by Alexander King, co-founder
of the Club of Rome: “In searching for a new enemy to unite
us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill…All of these
dangers are caused by human intervention…the real enemy then, is
humanity.”

Do these
scenarios sound familiar? Water shortages, famine, global warming -- all
in the news daily; all to make humanity the enemy of Mother Earth, Gaia.
We are constantly being bombarded with news stories (like the threat of
global warming) that make man the evil doer, a cancer on the face of the
earth in spite of evidence to the contrary.[1]

Now
that the globalists have decided how to make this “wrenching transformation
of society” according to Al Gore, they have been moving quite swiftly
and efficiently. The transformation is to get humans first out of the
rural areas, then out of the suburbs, and when they have us in the human
settlement areas, to reduce our numbers by civil unrest, natural attrition,
and eventually starvation. How will this come about?

In conjunction
with NGOs (Non-governmental Organizations affiliated with the United Nations)
as well as corporations and private individuals, our state and federal
governments are working to promulgate rules, regulations, fees and taxes
that trickle all the way down to the smallest town, community and individual
citizen.

Our
local bureaucrats are either ignorant (or pretending to be) of the fact
that this is all coming down from above -- from the mighty UN and the
global elite. They, the bureaucrats, tell us that they are just working
hard to design a template for our future, creating the necessary planning
that will take us and our progeny into the next century with sustainability
for even future generations and centuries. They claim that none of what
they are doing has anything at all to do with the UN; that they are coming
up with these cityscapes with stack-em and pack-em housing connecting
to public transportation on their own. They claim any talk to the contrary
is just the claptrap of right wing radical conspiracy theorists; they
figure if they tell this lie often enough, as Nazi Joseph Goebbels said,
people will believe it and drink the Kool Aid.

People
are waking up to the dishonesty and collusion, enough so that the powers-that-be,
the NGOs and the global elite, are having to rename things to try to hide
them again. Consider this quote from J. Gary Lawrence, a planner for the
city of Seattle, and an advisor to the President’s Council for Sustainable
Development: “Participating in a U.N. advocated planning process
would very likely bring out many…who would actively work to defeat
any elected official…undertaking Local Agenda 21. So we will call
our process something else, such as “comprehensive planning,”
“growth management,” or “smart growth.”

Do you
see what I mean?

In his
new Sustainable Development Manual, Tom DeWeese pulls these quotes
from the UN’s Our Common Future: Sustainable Development involves
“. . . a progressive transformation of the economy and society (p.43),
. . . international interdependence (p. 47), . . . redistribution of wealth
(p.50), . . . less material and more equitable growth (p.50-52), . . .
ensuring a sustainable level of population (p.55), . . . merging environment
and economics in decision making (p.62), . . . and a new ethics that will
include the relationship between man and nature above all (p.71). Clearly
there is more to Sustainable
Development than good stewardship of natural resources.[2]

Put
that all together and it equals what we so-called conspiracy theorists
have been saying all along: this is a plan to control every aspect of
our lives, economic, environmental, spiritual, educational, reproduction.
The state will not only be in our pocketbooks and our bedrooms, but in
our schools and churches. They will decide what foods we can eat (food-sheds),
if we can have children, how much education each child will be allowed,
how much space we can inhabit, and what we will worship -- Jehovah or
Gaia or something else entirely.

So how
is Al Gore’s wrenching transformation going to transpire?

There
are five paths being used to transform America from the land of the brave
to the pen of the slave, they are:

For
the rural areas it’s the Wildlands Project.

For
the cities it’s smart growth.

In business
it’s Public/Private Partnerships.

In government
it’s called stakeholder councils and non-elected boards and regional
government – or reinvented government.

And
in the schools it is called No Child Left Behind.

Wildlands
Project

Dave
Foreman, formerly of the Wilderness Society and the Nature Conservancy,
first dreamed up Earth First!, the club of eco-terrorists,
then decided to play “grown up” and along with Arne Naess
(Norwegian deep-ecologist), drew up the plans to re-wild North America.
I say that he was playing at being grown up because no sane, reasoning
person would want to take civilization back to a primitive stage.

The
Wildlands Project literally calls for the “re-wilding” of
50% of all the land in every state – back to the way it was before
Christopher Columbus set foot on this land.

In 1983,
when Foreman first dreamed up the scheme for the Wildlands Project, he
said: “It is not enough to preserve the roadless, undeveloped
country remaining. We must re-create wilderness in large regions: move
out the cars and civilized people, dismantle the roads and dams, reclaim
the plowed lands and clearcuts,-- reintroduce extirpated species.”

In order
to re-wild America, the people must go somewhere else. They must be driven
from their farms and rural homes (and even cabins) and crammed into cities,
in Newspeak, human settlements. Human settlements is a much more descriptive
word for the globalists plans than cities, as cities as we know them will
be mutated into holding areas for great numbers of human beings. (See
Smart Growth below.)

The
Wildlands Project (the product of a very disturbed mind, as I intimated
before) actually became the blueprint for the UN’s Biodiversity
Treaty. So now we have an eco-warrior’s sick idea of Utopia becoming
the prototype for international re-wilding of the world and it has the
power of law.

And
what kind of person gleefully says, “Isn’t the only hope
for the planet that the industrial nations collapse? Isn’t it our
responsibility to bring that about?” That was Maurice Strong
basically praising Foreman’s folly at the Earth Summit.

Smart
Growth

The
second path to Sustainable Development is Smart Growth. According to the
Wildlands map, certain areas have been designated as human habitat areas;
those are the larger cities of our country. You might want to look human
habitat areas this way: it is rather like at a zoo. Creatures are penned
and other creatures are free to roam and look at the penned creatures;
this time it will be humans in the pens and the animals having the run
of the country.

Smart
Growth cities have stack-em and pack-em housing often connected to public
transportation; there will be no garages or parking lots other than for
bicycles. Yes, I said connected. Often a train line comes right under
the building. You can see examples of this in Seattle, Portland, Oregon
and San Francisco. We once thought that living near a freeway or railroad
was undesirable. I still do, but it is in the plans for all of our futures
-- railroads that is, freeways must go the way of the dinosaur because
in Newspeak, “think elevator not automobile when you think of transportation
to work.” That is, you will be riding the elevator up from your
living quarters to your work in the dream (nightmare) world of Sustainable
Development.

All
this seems overwhelming and you want to holler, “stop, enough.”
Regretfully there is more. In part 3, I will finish up the overview of
Agenda
21/Sustainable Development and then will go into more depth on the
important areas of A21 and bring in other relevant pieces of the puzzle.

Simon, Julian, The Ultimate Resource, Princeton University Press, 1981.
p. 45. “Environmental, resource, and population stresses are diminishing,
and with the passage of time will have less influence than now upon
the quality of human life on our planet. These stresses have in the
past always caused many people to suffer from lack of food, shelter,
health, and jobs, but the trends is toward less rather than more of
such suffering. . . . Because of increases in knowledge, the earth’s
“carrying capacity” has been increasing throughout the decades
and centuries and millennia to such an extent that the term “carrying
capacity” has by now no useful meaning.”2.
